Garageland - B-sides & Other Rarities
'Beesides to Heaven' 
B-Sides & Other Rarities
1995-2002
ROB SEZ: Never heard of Garageland? I hadn't either until about a year ago. By then, they'd been gone for nearly 20 years. Like so many good things from New Zealand, it's taken the rest of the world time to catch up with our Kiwi friends' well-kept secret. Garageland plays a brilliant amalgamation of guitar pop, rock, punk, and fuzz pop. If you like this, there are 3 albums of great music waiting for you to discover. As you'll hear from the live tracks, Garageland could kick up a mighty storm in concert. Does anyone out there have a decent-sounding live recording to share? If so, please get in touch and I'll post it here. I put this comp together from my own CD singles, etc. I kinda sorta named the collection after the song that opens and closes the compilation. None of these appears on any album or readily-available digital release (well, I just realized that one of them does, but the 18 other tracks don't). Track details can be found in the first comment. Under the Radar reports the original Garageland lineup will play reunion shows in NZ next April. My apologies to Garageland for doing this to their rare tracks. I hope they'll allow this post to stay up for a while so fellow music geeks can enjoy...

ReplyDeleteHey chuck - were Garageland on your radar screen before my post?
DeleteOf all places, I found out about Garageland via a review of 'Do What You Want' in 'U.S.A. Today'.
ReplyDeleteYou just never know, do you?
No, we don't! 8-)
Delete"Do What You Want" is an unrecognized masterpiece..
DeleteJeremy of Garageland had a short-lived band called Galveston in 2018. I have a few tracks if anyone is interested...
